SIDNEY YORK

Begun as a long-distance musical collaboration between opera singer Brandi Sidoryk and bassoonist Krista Wodelet, Sidney York is one of the sharpest, sweetest, most surprising musical duos around.

Known for their high-energy live shows featuring instruments seldom seen beyond the orchestra pit, Sidney York is captivating audiences with an unconventional and irresistible blend of catchy lyrics, masterful arrangements, and soaring vocal harmonies.

Named Best Untapped Newcomer at the Calgary Folk Fest, Sidney York has also performed at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, SXSW, Canadian Music Fest, BIGSOUND (Australia), NXNE, and Vancouver Jazz Fest. Their 2011 album Apocalyptic Radio Cynic was called “vivacious, fresh, fun and gorgeous… a burst of fresh air” (Tamara Stanners, The Peak 102.7FM) and celebrated for bringing “sense of humility, a touch of class and most of all, fun” (Andrew Elliot, The Café Live 88.5FM) to the nouveau-pop genre.
